A NETWORK NODE AND A METHOD THEREIN ENABLING A FIRST UNIT TO CONNECT OR TO BE CONNECTED AD-HOC TO A SECOND UNIT

摘要

Embodiments herein relate to a method in a network node (16) for enabling a first unit (17) to connect ad-hoc to a second unit (18) in a system configured for remote radio units and main units, which network node (16) is comprised in an optical network (15). The network node (15) receives a connection request from the first unit (17) over the optical network (15). The network node (15) establishes a connection, to the first unit (17), for control data. The network node (15) stores control data regarding the first unit (17). The control data is retrieved from the first unit (17) over the established connection and wherein the control data enables the first unit (17) to connect/be connected ad-hoc to the second unit (18) for transferring user data over a physical path through the optical network (15).
